Wow,...I like that.
Now all someone has to do is paint it blue and paint the name Bigfoot on the side.

What a monster! As if the humvee wasn't big enough as it is . Is that the TAK-4 suspension that's fitted to it as on the MTVR and M-ATV and such like?

What a pointless endeavour. I will say that unlike the deathtrap M-ATV it came from, that Tac-4 suspension is some great kit. Our Cougars are starting to get it and it makes the teeth rattling ride far more tolerable. I swear there were some times down in Ghazni my back plates kept my spine from being broken as I got slammed into the turret ring!
